GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Green Goddess Dressing image

Unlike more complicated versions of green goddess, this one, adapted from the cookbook author Jessica Battilana, comes together quickly in a food processor. Mayonnaise and full-fat Greek yogurt give the dressing richness and tang, while parsley, basil and tarragon lend the springtime perfume of fine herbs. Two anchovy fillets offer salt and a rumor of umami. The recipe is so mouth-smackingly perfect that it doesn't require any adjusting. Serve with this greenest-green salad. Use leftover dressing as a dip, alongside carrots, cucumbers and radishes, or as an accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken.

Tips:

- For a smoother dip, strain the yogurt before using it. This will remove any excess whey and result in a creamier texture. - If you don't have fresh tarragon on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried tarragon instead. - To make the dip ahead of time, simply prepare it as directed and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, bring the dip to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. - You can use plain Greek yogurt or sour cream in this dip. If you use sour cream, the dip will be slightly tangier. - For a healthier dip, use low-fat or nonfat yogurt. - Serve the dip with fresh vegetables, such as carrots, celery, cucumbers, and bell peppers. You can also serve it with pita chips, crackers, or tortilla chips.

Conclusion:

Tarragon yogurt dip is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or even as a sauce. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a light and refreshing dip or a more flavorful and tangy one, this tarragon yogurt dip is sure to please.
